Timing seems to be everything when you need a reminder that things are going to be ok, even when I get down on myself and I wonder if I will get through the troubles I’m dealing with.  Well then a couple of things - first I saw this post from Positively Present (@positivepresent) “Some of the best moments are coming… The film of your life is still playing. Some of the best moments of your life are still to come.” A wonderful reminder for me that “my movie” is still being played out and better things are coming. The second thing - it always seems to happen where I get a text, a call, an email or a message on social media from someone reaching out and lifting my spirits. I did the same to a colleague last week and then in a conversation with that colleague this past weekend, I found out the perfect timing of my message was when him and his family were dealing with something that recently had happened. Then the morning of this recording, a former student of mine reached out thanking me for our time together in m

Well, I went back to back with today’s thoughts - leaning on The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) again, because I saw an important need to share this. I know I need this reminder on a daily basis, and I know others do too.  This message is “Let It Go.  If you can’t do anything about it then let it go. Don’t be a prisoner to the things you can’t change.” This is something that I’ve been focusing in on that if I’m looking back too often on things that I’ve done, not done, said, didn’t say, etc., that I need to grab onto the lesson to help me be better & then move on.  Again, where are my feet at? I’m here. Right now, I’m where I’m at.  The choices I’ve made in my life have helped to guide me where I’m at today.  That’s what I need to focus on, so that my day can be great and that helps my tomorrows be great too.  That way I will have a better connection to my past, a stronger one, one that has a more powerful & positive impact on my future, “todays”.  Again, this message hit me stron

Found a great reminder - a simple reminder that I know I need and I think the entire world needs too.  It comes from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) and the message is:  “Being a good person does not depend on your religion, status in life, race, skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how you treat others.” So much of what we see on how some people treat others - it’s a horrible lesson of what not to do. It seems humans have never gotten this lesson right. I, of course, am one of those humans that needs to work on this “skill”, “choices”, “habits”, etc. One thing I will be doing, every day - is to try and get better on how I treat others and this starts with me treating me, much better than what I’ve been doing. Hope this helps you too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.

Found another post that I really thought was created just to show me. However, I didn’t see my name attached to it, but it sure felt like it was. This came from Succeeded Mind (@SucceededMind) and here it is:  “Either you go after the life you want, or you settle for the life you get.”  This made me do a deep reflection on at first I still need to “go after” more and create more of what I want in life.  But then, while recording this episode, it hit me that I have AN INCREDIBLY AWESOME LIFE with my wife, kids, my family, along with my profession of being a lifelong educator and coach!! So for me to settle for my life (I’m in love with my life), but … I know I can keep getting better at this life I love so much, that’s for sure.  I hope you can make a connection to some of these points for the life you want or already have parts of it. One thing for sure, we don’t have as much time as we think we do.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 St

When I saw this post from Self-Care Canvas (@selfcarecanvas) it of course came to me as so many people are showing themselves to be the exact opposite (multiple times a day) of this quote: “Be humble and never think you are better than anyone else.  We all leave this world with nothing.”  It’s both sad to me and also amazing how so many don’t get this simple, yet valuable point.  I know / I believe that we do leave with the love & relationships that we had for others in our lifetime! We leave that behind for others too. Now, I also believe that the world has SO MANY examples of people living lives that are not humble, not serving others, not showing kindness & empathy, etc. So we have plenty of examples of what we don’t want to be in life. We need to be the example for others as to a better way to live our lives. Again, sorry for getting fired up and emotional with this episode, but I’m beginning to see things with a bit more clarity every single day!!  I hope this helps you to do the same.  Thanks fo

I found a super strong & powerful post that got me fired up and it only has seven words to it. This came from the Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) “Strong people rarely have an easy past.”  As I got to thinking about this, I started seeing myself in a way that I usually don’t see myself at all.  I realize I’m a lot stronger than I give myself credit for due to the “storms” I have been through.  It also occurred to me that I am a lot stronger and better because of the storms that my loved ones have gone through as well. This episode I got a bit fired up and emotional (I know, big surprise… LOL) as I really started to see myself and my loved ones in not only a different light, but a much stronger & clearer light too!! I hope this episode shows you about the true statement from Morrie Schwartz, from Mitch Albom’s “Tuesdays With Morrie” - where he reminded us that “death ends a life, not a relationship.” If we keep working on our relationships in life, and not what the world tells us is important, we

WOW.. this one hit me hard… right in the heart.  It came from liminal (@Liminal1988) and it’s a note that is titled “Dear Younger Me.”  It starts out “You didn’t know many things. You didn’t know how life would turn out, or why certain things were happening to you. And that’s ok….” and the last couple of lines “.... You’re still learning, still healing. There’s always something good in you. There was always something special about you. Then, and even now.”  This got me thinking about my younger self and how that part of me (all the parts of my younger self) is still with me. The saying of how our past is our best mentor still rings true. I think it becomes even more valuable and special, when we are able to connect it to the memories, feelings, emotions, etc., of our younger self(s). Make sure you look this one up & take it to heart to make changes that you can connect with for your life!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rati

Found a  great post from Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) where we were reminded that we always need to  “Always remember that there is a strength within you that is greater than any storm.” Since we all face storms, this is something we all need to remember - we have been through tough times & we will continue to go through them.  Since again, our Past is our best mentor, we can lean on those experiences that we have been through. As I thought about this more and more, I felt better about the storms that I have been through. Also remember that the storms never last!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You

This post hit home with me simply because I think we need more people pulling for others rather than hoping that others lose or have troubles.  I’m certainly trying to follow what the Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) shares here with this:  “Call me crazy but I love to see people happy and succeeding. Life is a journey, not a competition.” To me, this is a good kind of “crazy” to be - encouraging others to win in life compared to being a critic and wanting others to lose.  The world needs more people to look at celebrating others, instead of criticizing people.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also he

Found a very cool post - another short one, but yet it’s a powerful one for sure.  It has to do with the love of music. I hope I can say that just about all humans have a connection to music - ever since it’s been around. This post came from Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) “Kudos to music! Thank you for always clearing my head, healing my heart, & lifting my spirits. ~ A day without music is like a day without sunshine!” So many great memories came back when I saw this post and I hope this episode does the same for you. Do me a favor, reach out and let me know some of your favorite music too. Again, it’s the great connector that all people have with each other.

This is something we all need at times throughout life:  liminal (@Liminal1988) “Read this when life feels overwhelming.”   There is a lot to this post where it gives us plenty of ideas on how to help ourselves to feel a bit better and more grounded when we are feeling a bit overwhelmed.  Let’s face it, life can do that to all of us at any time. This post has many different connections for all of us to pay attention to.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Othe

Super reflective post here that I found from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) where we are reminded that “You can’t change the people around you, but you can change the people around you. Read that again.” This reminded me that I can’t change the people around me - what they say, what they think, what they do, etc. But, I can change the people around me as to who is around me, who I let influence me along with who I spend my time connecting to. In today’s world, this is something I need to get stronger with for sure.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.c

I have been using Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) to share some of the thoughts and ideas that get posted on a frequent basis. I’m going with my heart and gut as to sharing thoughts & ideas to inspire and get people thinking about things that can make their lives a bit better. This post said this: “Humans were designed to create. This is why you get depressed when all you do is consume.”  This one connected directly to one of the biggest difference makers in my life, and I shared that in my repost comments for this:  “…  my first thought when I read this.. @MitchAlbom sharing the story of Morrie telling Mitch that taking from others made him feel like he was dying. Giving to others made him feel like he was living!!”  Things like this are what I need to keep around me as reminders for how I want to live my life!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me

Coach Mark Hickie (@MPHickie)  shares his powerful thoughts  “A message for today … When it’s meant for you, it brings a sense of ease. It doesn’t leave you questioning your worth or peace of mind. Your soul recognizes what is right for you by how it feels when you're in its presence. If it costs you your inner calm, it’s too expensive.” There are some good things to take with us from this episode for sure. It reminds us that if things cost us our peace in life, it’s probably something we don’t need to connect with.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess

It’s so easy to keep connecting with posts from great people - Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) is someone who I keep leaning on for sure.  This one reminds us: “If you don’t make time for your wellness. You will be forced to make time for your illness. Read that again.”  This one really got me feeling like I need to have that intentional focus for my wellness. It’s true, it’s one or the other as our choices really do take us towards our wellness or illness. Great focus post for sure. I know I need to take this into account more so now, than ever before!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to h

Found a quick yet thought provoking post from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) which shared this:  “Nothing is scarier than avoiding your full potential.” A quick wake up and yet kind of hurtful reminder for me. It got me thinking about the thought of towards the end of our lives - even after we die, spending eternity looking into the “mirror of regret” for eternity, as to the person we could have been.  No way! No how,  do I want any part of that thought. I need to keep moving forward. Little steps. Action for sure is better than holding back! Digest this thought and do what you have to do in your life!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDaly

Once again, it’s funny (or by design) that I saw a posting for a connection of something that I went through this morning - any many other mornings. It was great advice for me to keep focusing on this, taking back control of what I was focusing on.  Our attention is something that is of great value and I know I need to keep looking to take care of my energy and where it’s going along with what I let affect it too.

Saw a very “reflective” post that got me thinking about some things and as always, I hope it gets you thinking too. From Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials) where they share the thought that “you cannot see your reflection in boiling water.  Similarly, you cannot see the truth in a state of anger. When the water calms, clarity comes.”  This reminded me of the fact that there is much work I still need to do.  It’s something that I choose to work on. Something I get to work on.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my home

Simple message today, but not only did I need to see this, I needed to share it too. (@Loveandfear) shared this gem, what is called a Gentle Reminder: “Be someone who still tries. After failure, frustrations, and heartache - be a person who musters up the courage to try and believe that good things are yet to come.”  Yep… I needed to be reminded about simply trying. Not giving up. Not getting stuck inside my own head and not getting in my own way of doing things, going after my dreams, etc. It sure is easy to let the world get in the way. I am choosing to try and keep moving forward despite all the obstacles life (and myself) throw in my way. I can work on what I throw in my way & I can work on how I react to what life tosses around at me.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on T

Score another great post from liminal (@Liminal1988) where we are reminded about a very simple thought:  “Do a good job.”  With this thought, it’s all about no matter what we do in life. Whatever calling / profession we have, simple & powerful… do a good job! It’s something that I know I need to work on for sure.  One part really stuck with me: “Fully invest yourself in the things you’re tending to.”  I got to tell you. Here I am, in my very late 50’s in age and I know I still have so much more to do & accomplish. This is helping me to not only see a future podcast episode or two, but also it’s inspiring me to keep sharing these messages. Wow.. morning reflections as I’m putting this show together - with my morning coffee… all equals out to some good stuff.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coacht
